Wheel Paint - What to Use?

[bulldogbobby]

Need to replace my tyres but noticed that a small area of the rear wheel paint has started to scratch off The front wheel is spot on and so is the rest of the rear - can only assume that that section wasn't cleaned down properly before the top coat went onto the primer. Needs to be 100% right before I put the wheels back on the bike so gonna strip both wheels down and repaint them with rattle cans (again!). I used Simoniz last time - had a look through old posts but can't find a real recommendation for wheel paint? I need something close to the satin black original and it HAS to be hard-wearing. This has been recommended on other forums?

What about applying a satin clear coat afterwards? Any other advice? (apart from powder coating!...........)

Cheers

I used Wurths Satin Black on both my MkII and A1. MkII has done 25000km and paint has performed excellently.

Only just seen your reply but thanks for the info mate - after a bit of research, I've gone for U-Pol PCEP/AL Powercan Etch Primer and U-Pol Powercan Top Coat Satin Black. Fingers crossed!

To pick up on your earlier note,
The Frost or eastwoods extreme chassis black is great stuff, I use it on all black frame stuff its very hardwearing.

Just wish they did a silver version as well. But definitional recommended.

I use Frost restorations- Eastwood Satin Black wheel paint - but paint after new tyres fitted. Mask tyres off with wedges of card all round.
